I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 431 Good News Arrives!

"A great victory for the army and the army! Zhijin Pass has been broken, and An Bangyan committed suicide!"

Accompanied by the messenger reporting victory, he rushed through the city of Guiyang.

The news that the officers and soldiers broke through Zhijin Pass, Anbangyan, and Anwei committed suicide quickly spread throughout Guiyang City.

This surprised and delighted everyone in Guiyang city. Naturally, Zhu Xieyuan, Qin Liangyu, Hong Chengchou and others were delighted.

This was far beyond their expectations. They originally thought that the Shuixian clan was the top chieftain in Guizhou, and it would take about half a year to pacify them.

But he never expected that An Bangyan would be so vulnerable. He was informed by the army about two months after he launched his army.However, the faster time passes, the happier Zhu Xieyuan and others will be. This will not only save a lot of money and supplies, but also deter other chieftains in the southwest and prevent the situation in Guizhou from becoming corrupt.

He could predict that the imperial court's policies in Guizhou would be unimpeded in the future, and no one would dare to block it at will.

In stark contrast to Zhu Xieyuan and others, the chieftain messengers in the city were extremely shocked.

In their minds, the Shuixian clan is the longest-standing, largest and most powerful chieftain in Guizhou.When the army was raised, it was said that An Bangyan had [-] powerful soldiers and had the natural danger of Zhijin Pass, yet he was defeated so easily by the army.

The chieftains from all walks of life are also smart people. After they received the news, they were shocked and realized the power of the imperial court. Their thoughts that were originally stirred up by An Bangyan immediately settled down, and they wrote letters one after another to condemn the Shuixi An clan, fearing that they would not express their opinions. Active, was blamed by the court.

But Zhu Xieyuan didn't care about the statements of these people. He was more concerned about how to deal with the Shuixi area and the Shuixi An clan.

Fortunately, he had been discussing the matter with Hong Chengchou and others during this period, so he also had his own plans for arranging Shuixi.

However, he couldn't decide this kind of thing by himself, so he took advantage of the opportunity to send the good news, compiled his thoughts into a title book, and sent it to Beijing together with the good news, asking the emperor for a decision.
-
Beijing Imperial City, Licaolanchang.

It is now the end of October, the cold wind has begun to blow from the north, and the temperature in Beijing has dropped sharply.

It's fine indoors, but it's a bit chilly if you're outdoors.But Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all.

He was standing in the grass fence at this time, with He Ning, instructor Zhou Yuji and others standing behind him, accompanying the emperor on his inspection.

I saw him staring at the busy grass field with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

"After all the students have moved out, most of the things here should not be moved. I still want to come over on weekdays and exercise my muscles by riding horses and shooting arrows."

Schoolmaster Zhu You gave instructions to Zhou Yuji behind him without looking back. At the same time, he watched with interest the two students in the grass field playing with a heavy bird gun, and he had the urge to play with it.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that I think so too. This is where Your Majesty first trained his troops. I have been training here for a year. Huang Degong, Sun Yuanhua and others all came from here, and now they suddenly said that they want to move to the west of the city. On the contrary, I am still a little uncomfortable with the Military Academy."

Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard this, looked back at Zhou Yuji, and then looked around the grass field, feeling very emotional in his heart.

"Yes, I recruited more than 30 people in October last year. Among them, you, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan were outstanding. This year has passed, and you have not embarrassed me. The two of them have done very well in the Beijing camp.

Jiang Lin and Tan Mian have told me many times that they have trained well, especially Huang Degong, who has made many military exploits in Guizhou, and they will definitely reward him well when he comes back. "

Listening to the emperor's emotion, Zhou Yuji couldn't help but sigh. He never thought that he would have such an opportunity last year. His Majesty really changed his destiny.

"It's all because of Your Majesty's recognition of people. Otherwise, we would never be able to succeed. I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness every time I think about it."

Zhou Yuji said that he would kneel down and thank the emperor for his kindness.Upon seeing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked him to get up and talk.He was very pleased to hear Zhou Yuji say this, but wasn't that exactly his purpose?

"Get up, I have seen what you did in Licaolan this year, and you did a good job. Although they all say that you are very serious, you are actually extremely responsible.

If you want to be an instructor at the Armed Forces Academy, feel free to do so. If you want to fight on the battlefield like Huang Degong in the future, just tell me and I will let you go to the Beijing Camp. "

Seeing the emperor thinking about himself so much, Zhou Yuji was moved and didn't know what to say.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace, but now I think it is good to be an instructor. Huang Degong and others went to the battlefield to serve your majesty, and it is the same for me to serve your majesty in the military academy. Please rest assured, your majesty, I will teach the students of the military academy well, for National reserve talent.”

After listening to Zhou Yuji's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded happily.

In his heart, he still wanted Zhou Yuji to stay in the Military Bei Academy. Since Sun Yuanhua left, the number of instructors in the Military Bei Academy has also decreased sharply. Although some have been recruited from the border troops and they are also very capable, there is no one like Zhou Yuji. It's good to have people you know well.

"That's good, you work hard. Now many students in Licaolanchang have been transferred to the Beijing camp, so there are not many students at present. Wait for the border army to recommend talents next year, plus those who have passed the martial arts examination and those who have passed the exam. After the noble disciples come in, it will become lively again, and then your task will be heavy." Zhu Youxiao said as he looked at Ruoda's grass field, where only scattered students and soldiers were cleaning up the training ground. The equipment is ready to be transported to the military preparation school in the west of the city.

As the other four armies of the Beijing camp have completed their training, the demand for lower-level officers is also increasing.Zhu Youxiao conducted two assessments in Licaolanchang and sent all qualified students to the Beijing Camp.

Those with mediocre grades will start from the rank of corps leader, and those with better grades will be more advanced. Those with outstanding grades, such as Cao Bianjiao and others, will start from the sentry officer.

Although this allowed the Jingying Wuyi, Wuxiong and other armies to quickly form an army, it also left the Licaolan field empty.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care much about this. He took advantage of this period of time when the military training school was about to be repaired and asked people to come over and move the things in the grass field.

Originally, he didn't have to come, but thinking that this military training place cost him a lot of effort, he couldn't help but want to come and take another look.

There weren't many things in the grass farm, and soon a student came over to report that it was packed away. Zhu Youxiao nodded and immediately wanted to give a few more instructions.

But at this moment, Zhang Chang was seen running towards this side from the gate of Licaolan. When he arrived in front of Zhu Youxiao, he was panting and knelt down to report:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the great victory in the Southwest, the great victory in the Southwest!"

As he spoke, he took out a question book from his sleeves, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.Zhu Youxiao was surprised when he heard this, and then his face suddenly lit up, and he quickly took the question book and started reading it.

This question was originally sent by Zhu Xieyuan, and it clearly stated that Yang Zhaoji and others adopted the suggestion of Zhenwu Army Huang Degong, dug tunnels to attack the city, successfully blew up Zhijin Pass, and at the same time invaded the city at night.

Due to the successful raid by the government and army, it can be said that the right time, place and people gathered together. The rebels suffered more than 2000 casualties and surrendered more than [-]. Only a few escaped, while the official casualties were only about [-]. It was really a huge victory. win.

What's more important is that An Bangyan, An Wei and others were in Zhijin Pass. After breaking the city, they knew they were doomed, so they burned themselves to death. Except for a few people such as An Bangyan's son who escaped, no one in the An family survived.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the question book and was so excited that he was speechless. He said three good words in a row.

Although he knew that Wei Guanzhai had not yet been captured and An Bangyan's son had escaped, in his opinion, it didn't matter as long as An Bangyan was dead.

The names She Chongming and An Bangyan were only slightly less harmful in Zhu Youxiao's mind than Nurhaci.

If they had not died, if he had not taken action in advance, the Southwest Rebellion would have lasted for 17 years as in the previous history, and even indirectly led to the Yunnan Chieftain Rebellion, which cost countless people, indirectly consumed the court's manpower, material and financial resources, and put the court into two situations. The shortcomings of frontline warfare gradually dragged down the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, since Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, he has always wanted to nip the problem in the bud, nip it in the bud, and then deal with Jianlu.

He also placed the matter second only to Liaodong, giving money, people, and Zhu Xieyuan's unconditional trust, lest anything go wrong in the process.

But now it seems it was all worth it.

Now that She Chongming and An Bangyan are dead, and the elite rebels have been defeated by the army, the only Nawei Guanzhai that is left cannot hold on for long. The She'an Rebellion lasted for 17 years in history, and he only spent one day It was settled within a year.

Zhu Youxiao didn't need to calculate to know how much financial resources could be saved.Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel excited, even happy.

Zhou Yuji, He Ning, Zhang Chang and others beside him knelt down one after another when they saw the emperor was so happy:
"Congratulations to your majesty for putting down the rebellion, I (servant) congratulate your majesty!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay! Zhou Aiqing, what I just said is indeed correct. If not for Huang Degong's advice in this battle, the army and the army would have died who knows how many people."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and handed the question book to Zhou Yuji. Zhou Yuji was also surprised when he heard this. He took the question book respectfully and read it carefully.

He couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Huang Degong had built a tunnel to blow up the Zhijin Pass city wall, allowing the army to successfully enter the city.

"It's really smart for him to think of this method. However, the Zhenwu Army has made great achievements, and I'm afraid that someone from the Yaowu Army will ask for a fight."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew who he was talking about and laughed when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I will use the Yaowu Army soon. Okay, I have to go back and discuss such a big matter. I'll leave the matters here to you. Just write a report to me after you finish it."

Zhu Youxiao said and walked towards Licaolanchang. Zhou Yuji and others also knew that the emperor would not stay here anymore, so they immediately stood up and bowed to see Zhu Youxiao out. They did not stop until they reached the entrance of Licaolanchang.
