"what!"

This arrow also missed, but hit an enemy's arm.

Yang Zhan finally arrived with his troops: "Raise the gun!"

After abandoning their horses, some dragoons climbed directly to the hillside to aim because they could not deploy their formation.

"Bang bang bang!"

A round of gunshots was fired, and the enemies fell down one after another.There were two lucky ones left, one jumped into the river and escaped, the other knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Lu Tianxiang came out from the reeds and continued to chase An Long with his long legs.

Seeing this, Yang Zhan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This woman, does she want to take credit from me?"

After running for about another mile, Anlong couldn't run any longer. He lay reclined against the hillside, breathing like a bellows.

Seeing Lu Tianxiang catching up again, An Long had no choice but to stand up again.He no longer ran along the valley, but climbed the slopes, trying to escape into the mountains.

It is also mountain climbing, Anlong Wu has a short stature, and it is very difficult to climb up.But Lu Tianxiang is extremely dexterous, like a deer jumping in the mountains, closing the distance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Angry, Anlong leaned on the hillside, untied his bow and arrow, and wanted to shoot.

When An Long untied the bow, Lu Tianxiang became vigilant, hid behind a small tree, and began to bend the bow and set the arrow.

"call out!"

"call out!"

The two shot their arrows almost at the same time, An Long's arrow brushed against the bark of the tree, and Lu Tianxiang's arrow hit An Long's...knee slightly.

How can you run with an arrow in your knee?

An Long wanted to cry but had no tears. He threw away his bow and arrow and waited to be caught. If he ran again, he would be exhausted.

Yang Zhan also led his troops to crawl over, and Lu Tianxiang, like a puppy protecting food, hurriedly shouted: "I caught that!"

Yang Zhan said depressedly: "I won't compete with a little girl for merit."

Lu Tianxiang immediately smiled and said, "I'm not trying to rob you, I'm going to make meritorious service and become a female general."

"If you want to be a general, take your time."

Yang Zhan slid down the hillside, sat by the river, and slowly took out his pipe.

After stuffing the shredded tobacco, he found that there was still a piece of matchstick left, so he used the burning matchstick to light the cigarette.He sat by the river and swallowed the clouds, allowing the soldiers to catch An Long, as if he really didn't want to take credit for it.

This guy has resentment in his heart!

He was the first warlord in Sichuan to voluntarily join him, and he had made many military exploits, but now he can only command 2500 cavalry—he took tens of thousands of soldiers to join the Datong Army.

Yang Zhan felt that he was deliberately suppressed.

If it hadn't been deliberately suppressed, why would he be punished and demoted for violating military discipline every time he made a great contribution?

Yang Zhan felt that the rules of the Datong Army were too unreasonable, and they were particularly rigid and unreasonable.

"Hey, are you angry?" Lu Tianxiang came over with a bow and arrow.

Yang Zhan turned around while smoking a cigarette, and couldn't help laughing: "The little girl is good at martial arts. My son is 13 years old this year. He is very good at martial arts. He has no marriage contract yet. How about being my daughter-in-law?"

Lu Tianxiang shook her head: "Don't do it, I'm 15 years old, your son is too young."

Yang Zhan said, "It's just right to be two years older."

Lu Tianxiang said: "No. My future husband-in-law will be taller, older, and stronger than me. He will be more accurate in archery than me, and he will be better at riding horses than me. "

Yang Zhan found that he met all the conditions, and sighed immediately: "I have a family. This Datong Army, it is not easy to get promoted, and if you take too many concubines, you will be fired immediately. Don't hurt me."

Lu Tianxiang couldn't help rolling her eyes, thinking that this guy is crazy.

Chapter 511 [Zunyi still belongs to Guizhou]

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

The heads of An Wei and An Long's father and son sent Yi soldiers on boats and horses, and took them to various places in the south to spread their prestige.

Mu Kui from Huozhuozexi, Deduzexi, and Duoyouzexi 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 Liumu 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, and they 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 west side of Shui, after Huang Yao murdered and established his prestige, the surrounding chieftains quickly surrendered.

Half a month later, Huang Yao led his troops to Shexiang Station.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 6000.

How dare the Yi soldiers in Shexiangyi 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 four directions.

In the third year of Chongzhen, the An family was defeated, and the land was reformed and returned to Liu. 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.

There are a large number of Han people in Shuixi City and its surrounding areas, and the situation is similar to that of 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 of persuasion from his brother Pan Rupan, 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, 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 could anyone bully someone like that?

Anba said anxiously: "Father, if you surrender now, you can still go to Taiwan with 1000 taels of silver. If you resist stubbornly, after the city is destroyed, our whole family will lose their lives! Uncle said in the letter, if not for cousin Thanks to the merits of leaving Guiyang City, both uncle and cousin could not escape death. Even so, they fought against the Datong Army, and they could not even go to Taiwan. The whole family had to immigrate to Luzon. The child did not want to die, nor did he want to go to Luzon , at least Taiwan is considered Fujian.”

An Rushuo walked up and down the room, distracted 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 officials to calm down the situation.

Knowing that Shuixi City was captured, Fei Yinggong from Guiyang left some peasants and soldiers to guard the city, so he sent his troops towards Northeast Guizhou.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.

In the 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 Cu soldiers in Guangxi for several years, and this time they cooperated with the troops to Guizhou, and encountered the stubborn resistance of the chieftain in Southeast Guizhou.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 the Guangxi Datong Army three months to take Liping Mansion alone.

Half of Guizhou has been decided, and the chief executive 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 was formerly the political envoy of Guangxi, so he recruited his old friend to surrender, which saved the Datong army some effort.

Kuang Lu also came with a decree, making 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, Administrative divisions will also change.

The territory of Sichuan is too big, it must be split up!

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

Those Zexi streams in the west of the water were all 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).

All the territories previously ruled by Tumu were changed to town-level units.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 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 greatest 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 controlled major local cities.

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

Except for Fei Yinggong's troops, the four-way army that attacked Guizhou 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.

Another imperial decree brought by Kuang Lu is to establish a large number of inspection departments.

Many peasants and soldiers accompanying the army were separated to form armed police forces 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 when the armed police forces in various places are formed can the Datong Army be completely withdrawn. It is estimated that Guizhou will be pacified next spring.

It is so troublesome and complicated to change the land and return it to the people, to abolish slavery, and to divide the land among the people.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 has made such a big commotion in Guizhou, what is the puppet imperial court in Yunnan doing?

Nothing.

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 really had no other intentions to sing and sing every night, he just seized the time to have fun, and surrendered immediately when the Datong army arrived.

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 is Mu Tianbo who really wants to resist, because the Mu family is the largest landowner in Yunnan—millions of acres of land, too much to manage, and it is impossible to grow it at all, and it is even quietly occupied by slaves and people .

Water West 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 imperial court ordered that the children of Mu Kui and Tumu, who were transferred to local officials, from 12 to 20 years old, be sent to Nanjing to study. It is not to take you as hostages, but to let you learn Chinese, If you know Chinese characters, you can be an official in Shuixi when you grow up. Your Majesty said that in [-] years, new officials in Shuixi will not be able to be illiterate."

"I'm a female general. I don't need to be literate. I just need to be able to speak Chinese." 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 named 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 dejectedly: "Which fool 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 not right to be a general if you can read and write. Besides, I will be seventeen (false) in a year, not counting 16. 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 to send troops to Usa Mansion in three days' time."

Chapter 512 [Don't Want to Go Back]

The children of Mu Kui and Tumu in Guizhou, including Fang Zeyu, the orphan of Ming soldiers, were selected to study in Nanjing as long as they were of suitable age.

In Sichuan, Hunan and Guangxi, those chieftains who are willing to surrender, in addition to being given franchise business, many can also get small officials such as mayors.Their children have already arrived in Nanjing, and Jinling University has special basic courses.

"It's fine if you don't allow me to bring my entourage, but why can't I bring my own horse?" Montai complained, rubbing his ankle.

She Qi held up his leather pouch to drink water, and said mockingly: "Men from the Yi family, can't even walk on mountain roads?"

Mengtai sighed: "I can't even speak Chinese, even if I go to Nanjing, I will definitely not be able to learn to read." After a while of annoyance, Mengtai pointed to Lu Tianxiang resting under the tree, winked and said, "That girl is so beautiful, you know Which one is it?"

Sheqi said, "It's from the Lu family."

The surnames of the Yi people at this time basically have historical inheritance.

The one surnamed Meng may be a descendant of the Nanzhao royal family.
