Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 176

"There are currently three main forces in Kuizhou, namely our Ming Dynasty official army, Zhang Xianzhong's partial division, and the bandit Yao Huang Shisanjia.

Because of the many dangerous mountains and rivers in Kuizhou, no matter whether it is an officer or a bandit, it is easy to hold on to the danger.

Therefore, it is difficult for the bandits to capture the entire territory of Kuizhou, and it is also difficult for me, Ming Dynasty, to wipe out all the bandits.

But to put it bluntly, among them, the thirteen Yao Huang families are mainly active in the large mountainous area north of the Tongjiang and Dongxiang lines at the junction of Kuizhou and Baoning prefectures.

When its army is in full swing, it can enter Guangyuan in the east, drive Kaixian County in the west, and go down to Yingshan in the south.

If it is tightly encircled by the government, it will shrink into the mountains of the Daba and Daba Mountains, and even go north to Hanzhong.

Therefore, although the Shaking Huang Shisan Family originated in the early years of Chongzhen, they were never wiped out. Instead, Sichuan's military strength gradually weakened due to repeated encirclement and suppression. "

Long Wenguang stopped here when he said that.

Aimee Zhu then asked: "Who is the leader of the Huang Shisan Family? Do you know the details of the thirteen bandits?"

Long Wenguang smiled wryly and said: "Reporting to the supervisor, there are actually more than thirteen bandits in the Yaohuang family. I don't know how many shares there are and who is the leader."

Auntie Zhu didn't ask any more.

Because on the other side, Hao Guangming had already read to her the information about Shaking Shisanjia.

Only then did she know that Huang Shisan's family had a very close relationship with Zhang Xianzhong.

It was formed by the two bandit leaders Yao Tiandong and Huang Long (both pseudonyms) left behind when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan in the seventh year of Chongzhen, colluding with local bandits, bandits, and local tyrants in northern Sichuan.

Even though Yao Tiandong and Huanglong were killed in battle in the Central Plains War from the eighth year of Chongzhen to the tenth year of Chongzhen, and the other was captured and taken to the capital alive, the bandits they left in the northern Sichuan area were not wiped out. Titles continue to mess around.

At the same time, Aunt Zhu could better understand why Zhang Xianzhong wanted to take Sichuan as his foundation.

Not only because of the good natural conditions in Sichuan, but also because he is very familiar with Sichuan.

It is said that Zhang Xianzhong started a small business with his father when he was young, and he went to and from Sichuan and Shaanxi.

After his uprising in the early years of Chongzhen, he took his soldiers and horses to various places. In fact, he entered Sichuan three times in a big way.

The first time was in the seventh year of Chongzhen. As soon as he came in to defeat Fengjie, he was scared away by Qin Liangyu who came with white soldiers.

The second time was in the 13th year of Chongzhen, and the third time was in the 17th year of Chongzhen.

Although the Huang Shisan Family was inherited from the banditry armed forces established by Yao Tiandong and Huang Long in the seventh year of Chongzhen, after the two died, the so-called Thirteen Family's large and small groups of bandits continued to rise and fall, and they are still related to Zhang Xianzhong today There are probably not many people left.

Therefore, after the Great Western Army invaded Kuizhou, the Yaohuang Shisanjia not only failed to help the Great Western Army, but some even fought the Great Western Army with the official army.

This also proves another thing. After years of suppressing bandits, the Yaohuang Shisanjia and the local government and army have also colluded.

In the history of later generations, shortly after Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime, almost all of Sichuan rebelled against it, including the Thirteen Family of Yaohuang, and it was also a major armed force of the anti-Daxi army.

When Hao Guangming was talking about the information he had found about the "Thirteen Shaking Yellow Households", a person in the hall of Chengyun suddenly knelt down to Auntie Zhu.

"About the Shisan Family of Yaohuang, there is one thing that I have not informed, and I would like to ask the prison to punish it."

The person kneeling down was Zeng Ying.

Everyone heard the words and looked over, but not many were surprised, as if they had expected it.

Aimee Zhu asked directly: "What is Mr. Zeng talking about?"

Zeng Yingdao: "The generals under my command, Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai are both from the Huang Shisan family. Li Zhanchun's original bandit name was Tuo Tianwang, and Yu Dahai's original bandit name was Zhentian King, also known as Bai Jiaolong."

In fact, Hao Guangming and Zhu Yu had a certain understanding of Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai when they searched Zeng Ying's information before, but they just regarded them as ordinary bandit leaders in Sichuan, and did not contact the Huang Shisan family.

Therefore, Aimee Zhu was a little surprised to hear what Zeng Ying said.

But she didn't want to blame Zeng Ying for this.

She said: "It is a good thing to make the bandits surrender. What's more, they took refuge in you half a year ago, before I entered Sichuan.

When you see Ben Gong, they have already made a lot of military exploits under your command, there is no need to doubt their loyalty, so why report it?
However, since these two are in your army, you must know something about the Huang Shisan family, so get up and talk about it. "

"Yes." Zeng Ying stood up, and immediately provided a very important piece of news, "There should be more than [-] thieves and bandits in the Yaohuang Shisan family, and they are temporarily enlisting the king of war, Yuan Tao, as the leader.

These thieves are called alliances, but in fact they just gather together for profit. The relationship is intricate and loose.

Moreover, these thieves have different styles of behavior. There are righteous people like Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai, and there are also stubborn villains who like to slaughter innocent people, and even cannibals.

In addition, they have been in deep collusion with the local landlords and the government and the army. In recent years, many of the so-called government and army suppression of bandits have been nothing more than acting on each other.

Of course, they changed from rogue bandits to bandits, which saved some military disasters in other places in Sichuan. "

On the other side, Hao Guangming introduced Wu Dading to Aimee Zhu.

This person is not worth talking about, just one sentence: he is a villain with certain combat power, good at speculation but capricious, despicable and selfish.

Therefore, after Hao Guangming finished reading about Wu Dading, Auntie Zhu had an idea on how to deal with the Huang Shisan family.

Asking Zeng Ying to return to the ranks of generals, Zhu Wei asked, "Who is the chief official or general of my Daming in Kuizhou now? Is it credible?"

When she said this, Auntie Zhu's eyes mainly fell on Long Wenguang and Liu Linchang.

The two had previously participated in politics in northern Sichuan and in eastern Sichuan, and they both knew something about Kuizhou, which is located in the northeast corner of Sichuan.

The two hesitated for a while, and Long Wenguang came out first and said: "I was in Shunqing to supervise the battle before, and I have been away for nearly two months. The situation in Kuizhou is complicated and changeable. I really don't know whether there is still a master in Kuizhou now." Officer, Commander."

Liu Linchang also didn't understand the situation in Kuizhou, so he didn't speak.

Then it was Zhang Jimeng who came out and said: "Report to the supervisory country, and the punishment will be used by the procurator Si Chuan Dongqian Shima Gan who has been stationed in Dazhou for several years."

On the other side, Hao Guangming quickly found Ma Gan's information.

"Ma Gan, courtesy name Leshui, was born in Kunming, Yunnan, and was a Juren in the sixth year of Chongzhen.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Ma Gan was the magistrate of Guang'an, Shunqing Prefecture.At that time, Zhang Xianzhong broke through Yang Sichang's siege and suddenly entered Sichuan, where the troops were relatively weak, and attacked the city and occupied the territory like a broken bamboo.

Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, urgently recruited Ma Gan to act as an agent for Kuizhou government affairs. When Ma Gan arrived in Kuizhou, almost all the east of Xinning, Kuizhou fell, so he led some officers and troops to guard Dazhou.

Bandits besieged Dazhou for more than [-] days, but failed to break through.Afterwards, Yang Sichang sent troops to rescue the siege, and because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to be an official in eastern Sichuan and stationed in Dazhou.

Historically, when Chengdu fell, Ma Gan served as the deputy capital censor, acted as the governor of Sichuan, sent Zeng Ying and others to conquer Chongqing, and defeated the generals of the Western Army Liu Tingju and Liu Wenxiu successively.

In the second year of Longwu, the Qing army approached Chongqing, and Ma Gan was stationed in Neijiang, rejecting the Qing's offer to surrender.

Then he defended Neijiang, fought bloody battles for more than [-] days, ran out of aid and food, and died unyielding when the city was broken. "

After reading, Hao Guangming couldn't help but said again: "I found one thing, it seems that most of your Ming Dynasty officials who are not Jinshi, such as Juren and Gongsheng, have very good abilities and are relatively loyal."

Aimee Zhu thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

Take the officials in Sichuan as an example. Chen Junchong and Ma Gan were both from Juren;

At this time, Hao Guangming said again: "I think, perhaps because these people have a lower status among literati, it is difficult for them to be accepted by the civil servants who came from Jinshi, so they are more willing to do practical things to prove themselves.

Of course, there are many more Juren than Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty. If Ma Gan and others can stand out, serve as officials as Juren, and make achievements, they are already quite outstanding talents.

As for officials with Jinshi background, although there are many mediocre and incompetent ones, there are actually many outstanding ones.

It's just that in the eyes of future generations, officials with a low starting point like Ma Gan and Chen Junchong will inevitably appear more dazzling after they have done respectable deeds. "

After hearing this, Auntie Zhu wanted to chat with Hao Guangming, but unfortunately it was not convenient in this formal meeting.

She then said to everyone in the hall: "In that case, I will send the news of my palace as the supervisor to Ma Gan in Dazhou, and promote him to be the deputy envoy of the inspector.

In addition, tell him that after the autumn harvest, the Jian Guofu will send a large army to Kuizhou to wipe out the local bandits. "

"Yes."

Afterwards, more than a dozen monarchs and ministers set their sights on the southwest and southern edge of the big map.

Long Wenguang came out again and said: "I want to report to the Supervisory Kingdom that there are many chieftains in the southwestern provinces of Sichuan, and they have not been invaded by bandits before, and the government offices and guards in various places are operating as usual.

I think that as long as these places know that the Chief Secretary, the Procuratorate and other Sichuan chiefs have respected the order of the supervisory country, they must follow.

Apart from the others, only Yongning and Shizhu, the two Xuanfu divisions, need special attention. "

Aimee Zhu said: "Shizhu Xuanfu Sigong knows that it is the place guarded by Qin Liangyu's old general for her husband's family. Yongning Xuanfu Si Bengong doesn't know much, so Governor Long will tell me."
